So What's Up With BlackBerry Stock Today?

BlackBerry Ltd BB shares are trading higher by more than 5% in Wednesday’s premarket session after the company announced Volvo ADR VLVLY has selected the company's QNX for its dynamic software platform.

BlackBerry QNX will serve as the foundational software for Volvo’s main domain controller ECUs in more than 300,000 heavy vehicles Volvo manufactures every year.

BlackBerry says QNX is trusted by more than 68% of the electric vehicle market by volume, 23 of the top 25 EV manufacturers and is running in more than 175 million vehicles globally.
